UK: ‘Hitler was a great man – this ain’t Israel', London van driver’s antisemitic rant

A Jewish pedestrian who became embroiled in a row with a van driver in one of London’s Jewish neighborhoods found himself on the receiving end of a vicious antisemitic rant on Friday.

A video of the incident shows the man, seated in the driver’s seat of a red van, repeating the phrase “Hitler was a great man” at the height of an argument between the two on a street in the north-east London area of Stamford Hill – home to a large Haredi population.

When the Jewish motorist filming the footage asked him to “say it again”, the man repeated: “I said Hitler was a great man. He knew what he was doing, okay?”
